Nongmen Jiao Nv: Escape from the famine with space

Chapter 86 Market Shopping (1010)

Under the circumstance that the price is not much, Wen Yu is naturally willing to let Wen Wen dress better. There are only two girls in the family. Although Wen Wan is not important, but who makes this noise, it is not good to let Wen Wen Wear sackcloth, let Wen Wan wear coarse cloth, and it's not good for Grandpa Wen to see them. Although Grandpa Wen doesn't care about them, he is still their grandfather. By then, he should feel uncomfortable, and it's just a little bit of cloth. , there is no need to make it so obvious.

Besides, the difference in silver between coarse cloth and linen is not particularly large, so Wen Yu said, "Shopkeeper, first cut two pieces of cloth that can be used for clothes for my sister according to this red color, it should be a little bigger, let's Make winter clothes."

After finishing speaking, Wen Yu gestured high again according to her size and cut two yellow sackcloths for Wen Wan, and the grandfather and brothers at home naturally wanted sackcloths.

One person and two clothes, even if the fabric is cheap, they want a lot, but when they think about making winter clothes, the shopkeeper asked, "Do you want some cotton?"

"Yes, the shopkeeper, you can estimate how much cotton you need by the number of clothes. Since you have bought it, you can buy it all at once."

There are cheap fabrics, and naturally there are also cheap cottons, but you don't need to ask about this. You will never buy cheap fabrics and stuff them with good cotton after making clothes.

The shopkeeper measured the size of the cloth, calculated the weight of the cotton, and then played the abacus. Finally, he said: "A total of 8 taels of 021 cents, and the 21 cents will not be counted with you. You make clothes always make shoes. Well, I will give you some small cloth heads, which are the most suitable for shoes."

Although there are not many people with less 21 cents of money, the shopkeeper's hand is still very loose when he orders people to cut the cloth. Basically, he gives a little more for each piece of cloth. The extra fabric can be sewn into the clothes first, and then the stitches can be removed directly after the person grows taller, and the clothes will not be short. In short, a piece of clothes can be worn for many years.

In addition, the shopkeeper sent a lot of fabrics for making shoes, and at least it can make more than 20 pairs of shoes.

Warmly smiled and said, "Thank you, shopkeeper."

After Wen Xin finished speaking, she took the money out of her purse and handed it to Wen Yu, who then put it on the counter of the shopkeeper.

Xu Shi was a little surprised by the people who paid the money. The shopkeeper was stunned for a while, then he didn't say anything. After checking the money, he handed the packaged fabric and cotton to them and then they left.

"Second brother, since we want Aunt Wang to help you make the clothes, why don't we buy some cakes for others?" No matter if Aunt Wang collects money or not, it is still polite to ask for it, but when it comes to clothes, Wen Wen asked again. Said: "Second brother, the clothes we make for the winter now, what about the current clothes?"

Wen Yu replied: "We are still growing, we can't wear it next year if we do it this year, why don't we do it again next year, this year everyone can barely change it, and if we don't make this money, those old clothes at home will still be rubbish. Wear it for many years."

Thinking about it that way, it feels better.

"That's true. Besides, our life is too dirty now, and new clothes will wear out after wearing them a few times. It's better to wear new clothes next year after we think about other livelihoods."

Wen Yu hasn't grown up that long, but if you keep making bowl cakes, it's really unnecessary to wear these new clothes, "Xin Er, there's a cake seller in front of you, just go there."

"it is good."

The two came to the counter selling pastries, but the pastries in front of her gave her no appetite at all. Almost all pastries were white and white, and even if they had colors on them, they were just embellishments. The red and green colors dotted on it are like the pigments of later generations, but, well, there were no pigments in ancient times, so how did these colors get added?

No matter how the color is added, anyway, the cake doesn't look delicious, and it probably doesn't taste very good. Suddenly, Wenxin understands why the things she makes sell well. I haven't eaten anything good before, so some new things don't flock here, and the cakes she makes taste really good.

But although she didn't look very good, there were still many people lining up in front of the pastry booth. Finally, when she arrived at their place, she asked warmly, "Sister, how do you sell these pastries."

The eldest sister in front of her glanced at her and said, "1 penny and 2 cakes, 3 penny a piece, and if you give one piece, you will get 7 yuan."

Wen Xin looked at the size of the cake, 3 cents and 7 yuan was really cheap, so she said, "Then please give me a copy."

"Good."

The eldest sister hurriedly took out the packing paper and packed 7 cakes for her, then tied it with a string and handed it to them.

Just when the two of them wanted to go back, Wen Yu passed by and saw a small stall selling headbands. He quickly stopped Wenxin and said, "Xiner, Xiner, why don't you buy two pairs of headbands."

For a while, Wenxin really didn't think of what to do with the headband, and immediately asked, "Second brother, why do you want to buy a headband? Which girl do you want to give it to?"

Wen Yu smiled helplessly and said, "I bought it for you, Xiner has grown so big and has never used a new headband. This pair of red headbands and that pair of pink headbands are very suitable for Xiner. Buy two pairs."

The ancient headbands are not as varied as those of later generations, but they look very delicate when they are made by hand. If the price is not expensive, Wenwen would like it quite a bit. She hurriedly asked, "Miss, how do you sell this?"

The person selling the head rope is a young girl, who seems to be smaller than Wen Wan, so it would be appropriate to call Wen Wen a little sister, but this little sister called the little girl who sold the head rope red. Face, "Uh, um... a pair for a penny."

This price is really not expensive, "Then I want a pair, I want this pair of bright red." It felt very festive to wear it, and it matched her new clothes quite well.

Wen Yu hurriedly said, "Two pairs, this pink Xin'er looks good on it, too."

Wen Xin thought about it, it's okay, it's only two cents anyway, "That's okay, let's have both of them."

After Wenxin finished speaking, she took out two cents of money from her arms, handed the money to the young lady opposite, and held the headband she just picked in her hand.

But when it comes to head ropes, Wenxin suddenly wanted to talk about something. She realized this before, but she was too embarrassed to ask. Now is an opportunity. As soon as the two left the counter that sold head ropes, Wenxin asked in a low voice. Said: "Second brother, Xiner's hair is dirty. Wearing this new headband will definitely not look good. Xiner wants to wash her hair before wearing it. How often should we wash her hair?"

To tell the truth, although their family washes every day, when it comes to hair, she has been here for half a month, and she has never washed it once.
